Ayo Edebiri takes on a pop icon and his cult followers in twisted new thriller 

LOS ANGELES — If you are a fan of Ayo Edebiri, get excited because she is starring in a new thriller film alongside John Malkovich and Juliette Lewis that promises to captivate you.

The story revolves around young writer Ariel Ecton (played by Edebiri) who is invited to a secluded compound by pop icon Alfred Moretti (Malkovich) for an exclusive “listening experience” of his latest album. As she finds herself surrounded by Moretti’s fanatical followers, Ariel soon discovers that the true purpose of the event is much more sinister than she initially thought.

On The Red Carpet caught up with the stars at the Sundance Film Festival, where the energy was high for the film’s premiere.

“Mark Anthony Green is an incredibly skilled writer,” expressed Stephanie Suganami, who was elated to have Green as her director. “The moment I read the script, I was like, ‘Wow, this is so clever and pertinent!'”

“I wanted more,” she added. “I was like, ‘Oh, I need to get more of this!'”

Juliette Lewis, who plays Clara Armstrong, a fellow guest at the pop star’s “listening party,” described the film as “thought-provoking, but it’s meant to be fun.”

As for director Mark Anthony Green, having the film premiere at Sundance was a dream come true.

“I had such high expectations for what this experience would be like,” he said. “So far, they’ve been exceeded.”

“Opus” is in theaters now.
